Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

Lou Xiao'e fiddled with the little gadget that her man had just made, feeling a little curious.

It is called a knife, but it also functions as pliers.

It is a pliers, a screwdriver, and even small scissors and a saw.

“It’s just a little gadget. I see you have too many tools on your workbench. Not only do they take up space, but they’re also troublesome to clean up every time.

Just use this one from now on, and put the others in the tool box and don’t take them out.”

The multifunctional tool that Chen Jianghe temporarily processed was integrated on the basis of conventional tools, which is somewhat similar to the Swiss knife of later generations.

However, considering practicality and weight, only the main knife, small knife, screwdriver, small serrations, scissors, pliers, tweezers and other functions are integrated.

The entire tool can be folded for storage. When not in use, you can just fold it up. It is a bit like a small toolbox.

"This is great, one piece is worth several!"

Lou Xiao'e was like a child who had gotten a new toy. The key point was that this was a really novel idea that she had never seen before.

"Hey! Chen Jianghe, what invention did you come up with?"

Since the Liu Xianglan incident, Li Gangdan and Chen Jianghe have become more familiar with each other.

At this time, seeing others making a new thing with just a few simple moves, I came over to join in the fun.

"This isn't an invention, it's just the integration of resources, which saves you from losing tools."

Chen Jianghe was looking at the various tools on his wife's workbench, and he got itchy hands and made this thing.

The knife is not sharpened very well, so it can only be said that tools related to sharpness are conceptual models.

"Wow! Your tool is really versatile!"

As soon as Li Gangdan shouted, others came to watch the fun, including an old man named Yi Zhonghai.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jianghe rarely goes into the workshop, but he can always tinker with something every time he comes. As the manager of the compound, Lao Yi feels proud of it.

But as a master chef in the workshop, he couldn't help but be curious about how other people came up with so many ideas.

Chen Jianghe saw that there were still fifteen minutes left before he got off work, which was enough time for others to sharpen their knives.

So he shouted:

"Uncle! Come here, look at this small mold, can you sharpen it for me?"

Chen Jianghe handed the thing over as he spoke, thus saving himself some effort.

"Hey! Let me try."

When Yi Zhonghai heard others calling him "uncle" in public, his face turned red with excitement. This was considered a celebrity for him in the workshop.

I started sharpening the blade immediately. Fortunately, the blade was ten centimeters long, so it was not difficult.

But there are a lot of things that need to be sharpened, including two razor blades, two pairs of scissors, and the serrated knife, which also needs to be sharpened.

It was time to get off work after all this busy work, but the other workers were waiting to watch the fun and didn't leave either.

Jia Dongxu wanted to go home and eat quickly, but then he thought that if he looked at Chen Jianghe's new products, he might get some inspiration.

If he really came up with an invention and the factory adopted it, he would be rewarded, so he just wanted to be a spectator.

"I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now. Uncle, just put Xiao'e at her workstation when you're done."

Chen Jianghe believes in not working if he can avoid it, and if he must work, he will not work overtime if he can avoid it.

He immediately left the workshop with his wife and rode his beloved "little motorcycle" because it never got stuck in traffic.

Yi Zhonghai, who was being watched by the crowd, remained passionate. It was his highlight moment to show his skills, and he couldn't let him down.

Chen Jianghe's set of tools are all available on the market when broken down, but it is the first of its kind to integrate several commonly used tools together.

They might not be that useful with this kind of thing at the steel mill because the factory has all kinds of tools.

But if it is used in ordinary people's homes, it is definitely very practical. Not only does it save space, but its biggest advantage is that it is easy to carry.

Just think about it, if you go out to work with seven or eight tools instead of just one, you will save a lot of effort just in terms of weight.

"If it gets lost, then it's all over."

I don't know who said it, but everyone immediately came to their senses. Yes, there are seven or eight tools at home, so it won't be a big deal if one or two are lost.

If I lose such an advanced comprehensive tool, I will be heartbroken.

"What are you afraid of? The bicycle is high-end. Anyone who dares to steal it will be caught in minutes. Besides, this is not something we should worry about."

Li Gangdan told the truth. If you worry about whether others will lose the things they buy, it is simply like worrying about something that is not your own business.

"Leave the stuff to me, you guys go home first!"

The dark-faced director stood behind the crowd at some point. As soon as he entered the workshop, he heard that Chen Jianghe had made another small thing, so he hurried over to take a look.

"Old Yi, you and Chen Jianghe live in the same compound, right? This kid has great potential. As a senior, you have to help him as much as possible."

The stern-faced director gave some instructions, took his things and left.

He needs to go home and study this little thing, it looks quite unique.

If it turns out to be very practical, he will have to report it to the factory director, and maybe he will get another credit.

Yi Zhonghai had no reason to refuse the instructions personally given by the director. Now that he had made his name known, he was one step closer to promotion.

"Brother, what are you going to do about Uncle Zhao?"

On the way home, Lou Xiao'e asked casually. After all, food and drink for a family of five is a considerable expense.

"We sent him to the compound today. The job environment is not good right now, so we can't expect Second Uncle to be able to enter the factory and become a formal worker right away.

After all, his household registration and academic qualifications are blocked. I think I can find some odd jobs for him to do first. The children have to go to school, and I will make another visit when I have time.

Apart from anything else, if they live in the house, basically nothing will go wrong.”

Chen Jianghe's three-story compound would be worth a fortune within the Second Ring Road decades later.

In fact, if the street allowed, he would really like to buy a few more courtyard houses.

In this area of ​​​​Sijiu City, if you just keep buying and buying with your eyes closed, in a few decades, you can definitely ensure that three generations will be able to live comfortably.

As some experts said: If you can’t live in all the houses, you can rent them out!

You just have to be a little more thoughtful about the source of the money for buying a house so as to avoid suspicion from others.

The key point is that buying and selling are not allowed now. It was not until more than 20 years later that this area was liberalized.

"Or, let's go find my dad and see if we can arrange a position for him."

In order to help her husband save some money, Lou Xiao'e turned to her parents' home for advice.

Although her father has no real power, it is okay to arrange for him to be a boiler operator, which does not require any academic qualifications or skills.

The wages are a little less, but it is better than living off the savings.

"We can't touch our father's line. A tall tree attracts the wind. The Lou family is already at the center of the storm. We must not let anything go wrong again."

Chen Jianghe actually admires people like Lou Zhenhua from the bottom of his heart.

At the beginning of the country, there were many things to be done. Some people only talked big, while others chose to help the country through industry.

Ironically, the influence of these two types of people later on was completely opposite.

Those who talk big have most of the say, while those who do things are often only remembered by a small number of people, that's all.

Lou Zhenguo belongs to the latter.

If it weren't for the big situation and Xu Damao's prank, perhaps he could continue to shine.

But then again, when the nest is overturned, no eggs will remain intact.

Even if there was no Xu Damao, there would be Zhang Damao and Li Damao.

The true history is too difficult to look back on, but if we just keep moving forward, we will easily lose our sense of direction.

That’s why people say, learn from history. What’s the next sentence?

Can you dress properly?
